A really easy way to do this would be converting them all to decimals by dividing the top number by the bottom number.
7/5 = 1.4
15/4 = 3.75
3/2 = 1.5
11/4 = 2.75
13/3 = 4.33
Start with the whole numbers. 3/2 and 7/5 must go first since they both have a 1. 7/5 goes before 3/2 since it has a 4 in the tenths place, while 3/2 has a 5.
Next would be 11/4 since it has a 2, then 15/4 with a 3, and lastly 13/3 with a 4 as a whole number
Answer is 7/5 , 3/2 , 11/4, 15/4 , 13/3
